Today kicks off my first weekend living in Washington, DC (the Capitol is right around the corner from my office - really makes me feel like I'm living in the capital!). At lunch today, Benevolent Media ("a celebration of storytelling and design for good") kicked off their 2nd annual festival with a panel of video/video related presenters working in the NGO/international development field right here in the WRI office. I'm looking forward to more presentations like it, which seem to happen often around here. It was neat to hear from a wide range of people involved in the process and get their insider scoop on video-making and NGO work.
Tomorrow I'll sign a lease for an apartment (!) and will meet friends - both new and old - for some bon voyage gatherings. School work at SIT continues so I'll do some readings and try and get ahead for the following week.
I've been reading more now that I have a commute (and don't yet have a bike to my name). In between stops on the metro I'm reading Isabel Allende's The Infinite Plan. I love her work and this book is no exception, if not a bit more intense, than some of her other books I've read.
How are you celebrating the first official week of summer? Have any book recommendations?
